Creator's Key Takeaways

so one of the things we love most about private tours is they're customizable so it's whatever you want to do on your time schedule anything you want

so particularly for this cruise and these excursions it was great as we had two kids so we really got to tailor the adventure to our level right

so believe it or not our nine-day cruise to the mediterranean sea we did all private tours and they were all the exact same price as what norwegian cruise line was offering

because there is some risk is that you have to make sure that you are back on the boat at the exact time before the departure or else the cruise ship leaves without you

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ignore cruise line excursions and book private tours instead
Ensure you return to the ship before departure time to avoid being left behind
Use customizable private tours to tailor adventures to your family's needs
